HCB News: What initially drew you toward a career as a biomedical professional?
CN: As a child, I always enjoyed figuring out how things worked or how they were built. I recall having a high school teacher talk about how his son repaired and maintained anesthesia machines. At the time I thought, “What an awesome way to work with your hands while indirectly helping people,” but I had no idea how to achieve such a position. Later, while looking through a college course catalog for Caldwell Community College & Technical Institute in Hudson, North Carolina, I stumbled across the “Biomedical Equipment Technology” program. It sounded interesting at the time, so I decided to start my classes. Little did I know how perfect this field was for me!
